Tag: Los Angeles Sheriff department

The Los Angeles Sheriff Department has recently endured the federal convictions of 20 sheriff’s officials for numerous counts of corruption and misconduct.

Branum and Brunsting were each found guilty of conspiracy to violate civil rights, deprivation of civil rights with bodily injury, and falsification of records for preparing reports that tried to justify their use of force against the victim.

Instead of accepting responsibility for his crimes, Baca blamed Tanaka in court.

As their cases proceed through the appeals process, these dishonest deputies keep accumulating paychecks from the city.

Under the threat of indictment with his deputies and underlings receiving convictions for misconduct and abuse that occurred during his tenure, Baca finally confessed to his involvement on Wednesday.
